Need to remove a font from windows

wingzero · #1 (**permalink**) 07-12-2006, 11:12 PM

I copied a font in to the fonts folder under windows and now I can't remove it. Everytime when I try to remove it, an error message pops up that saids there has been a sharing violation and the source or destination file may be in use. I closed all the programs and still has the same error message. An help would be appreciated.

No, I don't have it on storage card. Tried the activesync way, still can't remove it. Oh well, might just leave it there but it takes up 626k of the main storage space.

Thanks guys.

update just cut and paste the .tft file from the font directory to ur memory card. u can cut and paste, but no deleting. then load the memory card to ur pc and delete from there. works like a charm. hope this helps.

Nice tip Wideawake! I am going to work on brining over some custom fonts now and if they don't work. I will cut/delete them as you suggest.
